            CONGRATULATIONS TO EAGLE SCOUT JASON M. BOERGER

                                 ______


                            HON. DAVID MANN

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 10, 1994

  Mr. MANN. Mr. Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to recognize 
Jason H. Boerger on his accomplishment of earning the rank of Eagle 
Scout. This is a substantial achievement as only 2 percent of all 
Scouts attain the Eagle rank.
  Jason Boerger began his Scouting odyssey in 1986 as a Cub Scout. 
Jason earned the Arrow of Light and rank of Tiger in 1989.
  In 1989, Jason joined Boy Scout Troop 644, sponsored by Friendship 
Baptist Church. He has earned 21 merit badges and has performed the 
requisite Eagle Scout community service project. The project involved a 
substantial landscaping project around the New Friendship Church.
  While blazing the trail to Eagle Scout, Jason held several leadership 
positions including senior assistant patrol leader and troops junior 
leader. He has also received recognition as Scout of the Month each of 
the past 5 years.
  Jason has also been quite active outside of Scouting. He is a 
freshman at Northwest High School where he has been recognized as 
student of the month and has received the Tribe Award. He is an active 
member of Friendship Baptist Church where he has been involved in the 
youth camp, church choir, vacation bible school, and the God & Country 
program.
  I extend my heartiest congratulations to Jason who should be 
justifiably proud of his accomplishments. I also extend my 
congratulations to his parents, Stephen and Donna Boerger, and his 
Scout leaders whose support and encouragement helped make his goal a 
reality.
